Hyypia: I'm in Rafa's plans
Sami Hyypia insists that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has told him he has a future at Anfield.
Newcastle, Wigan, Fulham, Sunderland and Reading have all been strongly linked with a move for the veteran stopper.
Indeed it was reported that Hyyia was locked in talks about his future after being told he could leave Liverpool.
However, Hyypia says that Benitez has told him he wants him to remain at the club and see out of the last year of his current contract.
According to Hyypia, he met with Benitez just before the UEFA Champions League final with Milan and he assured him of his future.
"Rafa said, 'We are happy with you and you are not for sale.'" Hyypia told Ilta-Sanomat.
"I will go back to Liverpool in July for pre-season training.
"Next season will be my ninth in Liverpool and I still have one year left on my current contract."
Hyypia is currently back in his homeland preparing for Euro 2008 qualifiers against Serbia and Belgium.
